The Etymology of the Italian Verb "Salvare" and its Latin Roots, as well as the Albanian Words "Shpëtoj" and "Pshtoj" The Italian verb "salvare" and its Latin roots, as well as the Albanian words "shpëtoj" and "pshtoj," both meaning "to save," have potential connections to their Proto-Indo-European roots. The Italian verb "salvare" and its Latin roots "salvāre" and "salvus" mean "to save," "to be safe," or "complete." The root comes from the Proto-Indo-European "*sol-," meaning "complete" or "well-kept." This Latin word is the source for the English word "save," as well as related words such as "savior," "salvation," and "salvage."

Fragment of an apotropaic mosaic with a fish-shaped cock surrounded by two triangular female vulvas and the inscription O CHARI. From Hadrumetum, dated between the late 2nd and mid-3rd centuries AD. Archaeological Museum of Sousse, Tunisia. Vladimir Orel claims that the Albanian word *kar is borrowed from:   kar m ‘penis’. Borrowed from Gypsy kar id. (MEYER Wb. 176). 0 TREIMER MRIW | 366; TAGLIAVINI Dalmazia 141. However, the Romani language's history contradicts this: The first written evidence of Romani dates back to 1542 AD in Western Europe. Linguistic analysis suggests Romani originated from New Indo-Aryan languages, indicating migration from India around 1000 AD. Romani's grammatical evolution, such as losing the neuter gender, parallels other Indian languages. The language developed distinct features during migration, influenced by languages like Greek and Armenian. Given the timeline, Orel's claim seems unlikely. Possible explanations: 1. Albanian *kar might be an a...

The Latin word "fluid" can be broken down into its constituent parts:  FLUID = FLU + UID > FLU + UIT (D>T).  This decomposition reveals potential connections to the Albanian language. Albanian Roots 1. "UI" / "UJ" meaning water, as seen in Albanian words like "ujë" (water). 2. "F" indicating air blowing, possibly derived from the sound of exhaling air. 3. "LU" suggesting movement, as in Albanian words like "luj-leviz" (to move). Component Analysis - F'LU: movement in blowing or air flow - UID/UIT: water, a gender-specific form of Albanian language. Implications This etymological analysis suggests that the Latin word "fluid" might have roots in the Albanian language. The presence of distinct Albanian roots for water ("ujë") and movement ("lu") contrasts with Latin's use of "aqua" and "movere" for these concepts. Linguistic Connections Further exploration ...
